Okay, Trumpies. You got some splainin' to do.

Funny, one of the brainless Trump humpers posted a thread asking for the same thing.

Go figure, a dipshit conservative here pushing the same propaganda as the Russians...

Well I give them a modicum of respect for being open and honest about their treasonous behavior.

What is funny is for some Republicans they see this as a good thing at this point. Tucker Carlson will probably talk about how the Russians have more sense than the DNC or some shit.

There's more:

Russian state propaganda has been open in its desire for Trump to return to power.

Kremlin TV Hopes Russia’s Unhinged Ukraine War Claim Will Help Re-Elect Trump

State TV pundits are delighted that crazed Russian propaganda about Hunter Biden’s supposed funding of bioweapons in Ukraine has “served up a beneficial deck of cards for Trump.”
www.thedailybeast.com

Who can blame them? With Tucker Carlson leading the way, Putin knows he has support among a segment of America.

Last Thursday, Russia’s Defense Ministry released a colorful diagram, purporting to demonstrate that President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, is secretly bankrolling the Pentagon’s biolabs in Ukraine, allegedly developing biological weapons to target Russia. The allegation was preposterous and was squeamishly avoided by the responsible mainstream media, but Tucker Carlson immediately latched on to it. Talking about the accusation later the same day, Carlson did his best to pre-empt any doubts about his motivation. He said: “What are the outlines of that story? We’re not sure. We know it’s legitimate to ask what it means, why wouldn’t it be? You’re not a Russian agent repeating discredited Putin talking points if you ask. You’re a good citizen.”

...Virtually connecting to the studio for his weekly appearance on the [Russian state TV host Vladimir Soloviev's show, Soloviev Live] was Dimitri Simes, who heads the Center for the National Interest. (<<-- org created by Nixon). The Mueller report documented extensive interactions between Simes and his organization with top Trump campaign officials. The Center for the National Interest hosted candidate Trump’s first foreign-policy speech in 2016, attended by Sergey Kislyak, Russia’s ambassador to the United States. In 2015, the center arranged meetings with U.S. Treasury Department and Federal Reserve officials for convicted Russian agent Maria Butina and then-Russian Central Bank Deputy Governor Alexander Torshin.

Soloviev gushed about Simes: “I cherish his friendship.” Simes reciprocated: “For me, it’s always a great honor and great pleasure to appear on your program.” During their discussion, Soloviev brought up the biolab conspiracy theory and its potential impact on the presidential election in 2024. He said: “Russia served up a beneficial deck of cards for Trump, because the documents discovered in Ukraine, plus the evidence uncovered on Hunter Biden’s laptop, demonstrate the participation of Hunter Biden’s company in biological programs in Ukraine. A number of English-speaking media outlets have already picked it up, and of course, China clutched onto it. Can Trump’s people use this as a line of attack against Biden and his family?”

Well, calling Trump a "Partner" is more than that.

Why, again, do we suddenly believe Russian state media when it gives us a description that feeds into our biases against domestic opponents?

Because in this case there is nothing to "believe" or not to "believe".It is not a report on something fact-based It is more a speech and views expressed and we see it in the face of who is making it and were it is made: (Russian state media)
"Host Evgeny Popov says it's time for the Russian people to call on Americans to change "the regime in the U.S." before its term expires "and to again help our partner Trump to become President."

Histerical to think that anybody would still contend that Donald Trump was not and is not an ally to Monster Putin. Lapdog Trump looking for help again from his Daddy.

There is plenty to believe in there; it is simply implied.

For example, this thread is built on the implied claim that Trump was a "partner" to the Russian State".

Why, exactly, should I believe Russian media all of a sudden, when they make that claim?

They're just gonna do the opposite of what they do with left-lean media: announce that it's just one person who isn't Putin saying it, even though it's Russian state TV, which says only what Putin wants or people disappear if it doesn't.

There's no hope. You can't correct a group of people who do not merely not care about what is right and wrong, but who take active offense at what is right.

And we should definitely believe it, because Russian media says so?

What we can believe is that if Russian state media says it, it's what Putin wants to be said. Very bad things happen to Russians who do and say things Putin doesn't like, especially if under official-seeming guise.

:rolleyes:


If I look outside every twenty minutes for a couple of hours and see that it is raining, and that the ground is wet, I conclude it's raining and the other possibilities (say, sudden onset of hallucinations) are too remote to be worth considering absent evidence for them. If I miss one and someone tells me that it is raining outside right now, I reach the same conclusion.

Every damn thing we've seen for the last several years lines right up with what that anchor said.

" Host Evgeny Popov says it's time for the Russian people to call on Americans to change "the regime in the U.S." before its term expires "and to again help our partner Trump to become President.""
And you want us to bet instead that the host said it despite it contradicting Putin's supposed *real* views on Trump? Please.

This is Russian psyops at work. And people are falling for it.

Because it isn't hard to believe that Russia wants Trump to return to power.

Instead they have a president bolstering NATO alliances and using them to deeply sanction Russia over their invasion.

On the other side of the equation we have Trump shamelessly asking the Kremlin to help him politically.

Trump had to get out in front of the war in Ukraine to call Putin's move "genius" .
